Abstract

Meteorological data analysis is one of the time series prediction applications. Analysis of meteorological data give insights to the weather forecast and makes country more prepared for the worst situation like drought and flood. Northern part of Karnataka is usually a drought region. The paper provides insights into application of random forest and decision tree for a region of Karnataka called Raichur. The results of accuracy precision and recall are tabulated for Raichur region. There are 10 input features of climate considered in prediction of rainfall for a region. An accuracy of 96% is obtained after applying random forest to the meteorological data collected from IMD (Indian Meteorological Department). Raichur is an arid region of Karnataka which receives less rainfall. There were 13 input features considered for prediction of rainfall. The data was collected from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) for a span of 17 years from January 1999 to December 2016 for prediction of rainfall. The decision tree classifier was applied to get an accuracy of 88%. The classification report shows a precision and recall of 0.90 and 0.97. Random forest an ensemble classifier was run through the dataset for an accuracy of 96%. The precision and recall of 1.00 and 0.99 was achieved. For both the algorithms a total of 11159 tuples were considered. There are total 11158 samples. The total training observations are 7810. The total testing samples are 3348. The decision rules are documented. Random forest algorithm shows a relative importance of parameters for Raichur rainfall prediction. A highest importance on rainfall prediction is Wet Bulb Temperature (WBT) and least important factor is Wind direction (FFF).
